Halftone (Dither)

Dithering is a technique for reproducing halftone images, such as a photo, in binary mode.

Two pixel levels are used to represent the entire grayscale, thereby reducing the levels of gray required displaying an image. Using a dithering pattern requires less memory than using a grayscale mode.

Choose a dithering method in the Halftone drop-down list box for the Front Side Settings and Back Side Settings group boxes: None (Binary), Bayer Dither 64 (64 steps), Bayer Dither 16 (16 steps), Halftone Dot 32, Halftone Dot 64, and Error Diffusion.
